I never buy branded clothing, or if I do I buy and remove the brand label. If companies want me to advertise for them I need to be paid. This morning I took the LLBean tag off my hooded sweatshirt.

How long before tech services exhaust us so much we put them down. No more apps. No more streaming. No more social media. Gen z has begun. I cannot help but wonder if AI is heralding in a new Luddite movement.

My day begins with quiet coffee. Sometimes I share it with someone. No taking. Just coffee and the sunrise.

Sometimes when I wake early I go downstairs and make coffee. Then I go back to bed. It is always delightful to wake to the smell of coffee.

Lit a fire in the fire pit this morning and worked next to it in the chill autumn air. Finished writing two lectures. Was amazing.
